From going to the gym three times a week and playing cricket, tennis and badminton regularly – Terry Perks thought he was in reasonably good health.
But with no apparent warning signs, fit and healthy Terry suffered a stroke at the age of 61 – leaving him hospitalised, robbing him of his independence, battling mobility issues and being unable to speak for six months.
But 10 years on, and Terry is now an important advocate for stroke patients at Peterborough City Hospital and in his local community.
